Clemco Blast Rooms For Metal Parts
Fabricated metal part finishing can include brackets, weldments, panels, housings, frames and assemblies moving through blast preparation, liquid paint or powder coating. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services blast rooms, abrasive blast booths, media reclaim systems, powder booths, ovens, paint booths, exhaust ductwork, make-up air equipment and utility connections for part finishing operations.

Part Mix And Rack Strategy
Fabricated parts often change size and shape from job to job. A Clemco style blast room or abrasive booth should be planned around racks, carts, hooks, tables and the largest assemblies expected, while still supporting efficient movement for smaller components.
Preparation To Coating Workflow
Blast, blowdown, masking, coating and curing should be arranged so clean parts do not backtrack through dusty zones. Paint booths, powder booths, ovens and staging areas need enough clearance for operators, carts and quality checks.
Air Systems Across Mixed Processes
Abrasive preparation, liquid spray, powder application and ovens each affect air movement. Exhaust ductwork, dust collection, make-up air, heat, controls and building pressure should be coordinated with the surrounding fabrication space.
Site Review Checklist
Gather part dimensions, rack details, production sequence, utility information, equipment drawings, roof or wall access, filter information and photos of the current finishing area before installation, repair or relocation discussions.
Frequently asked questions
What fabricated part details should be gathered?
Largest and smallest part sizes, weights, rack methods, masking needs, coating type and transfer method are useful planning details.
How does mixed liquid and powder work affect layout?
Liquid spray, powder application and ovens need separate airflow, exhaust and housekeeping considerations while still supporting a clean part path.
What maintenance access should be preserved?
Access to filters, fans, duct cleanouts, lights, controls, doors, reclaim equipment and oven components should stay clear.
What helps define a relocation scope?
Current equipment drawings, photos, utility routes, duct paths, rigging access, destination dimensions and production constraints help define the move.
